Cope The abundance of knowledge - chronicles from the basement

[Mortis]

How am I supposed to cope with the abundance of knowledge in the world? Everytime I read something philosophical/historical (the 2 main subjects I am intrested in) I get absolutely overwhelmed when I see the vast amount of stuff there is to learn and to read.

Unfortunately I am one of those people that get discouraged rather than encouraged when I am reading about a topic and see there's literal books connected to fully grasping the subject matter. In short I have the proclivity to give up in general.

How do I deal with this? What's the best approach?

Pick the topics of interest that genuinely keep you up at night when you go to sleep thinking about them.

You can easily read a book per day if you wanted to.

I think you feel that way because there is in fact no real "knowledge" in the world. There are only points of view which leads to more or less satisfactory outcomes.

The question is not how to "acquire more knowledge" (which is impossible). The real choice is what path you will follow. In other words, it is not about what you know but about who you trust.
